Legend says that Archimedes, in determining whether or not the king's crown was made of pure gold, measured its volume by the water displacement method. If the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm3, and the crown's mass is 600 g, what volume would be necessary to prove that it is pure gold?
a. 3.1E+1 cm3
b. 3.2E–2 cm3
c. 3.2E+1 cm3
d. 3.0E+1 cm3
e. 1.2E+4 cm3

We can best understand how a diver is able to control his rate of rotation while in the air (and thus enter the water in a vertical position) by observing that while in the air
A) his linear momentum is constant. B) his potential energy is constant. C) his kinetic energy is constant. D) his angular momentum is constant. E) his total energy is constant.
A parallel plate capacitor is connected to a battery and charged to voltage V. Leah says that the charge on the plates will decrease if the distance between the plates is increased while they are still connected to the battery. Gertie says that the charge will remain the same. Which one, if either, is correct, and why?
a. Gertie, because the maximum voltage is determined by the battery. b. Gertie, because the capacitance of the capacitor does not change. c. Leah, because the capacitance decreases when the plate separation is increased. d. Leah, because the capacitance increases when the plate separation is increased. e. Neither, because the charge increases when the plate separation is increased.
